 Charles Kingsley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kingsley's humour has escaped many; perhaps it can be found in another of his historical romances, named after its heroine, Hypatia, in which the arch neo-Platonist of end-of-empire Alexandria converts to Christianity at the moment of her obscene murder.
Kingsley's concern for social reform is illustrated in his great classic, The Water-Babies (1863), a kind of fairytale about a boy chimney-sweep, which retained its popularity well into the 20th century.
His argument, in print, with John Henry Newman is said to have prompted the latter to produce his Apologia Pro Vita Sua.

 Mary Kingsley
Although Kingsley did not consider taking his daughter with him on his travels, she was given the task of making notes on relevant material from his large collection of books on the subject.
It was written on the book of Fate that she (Mary Kingsley) should die just as the practical usefulness of her work, its high morality and extreme accuracy, were forcing themselves upon the notice of her contemporaries in politics, administration and commerce, and upon the imagination of thinking England.
News of Mary Kingsley's adventures reached England and when she landed at Liverpool she was greeted by journalists who wanted to interview her about her experiences.

 Biography of Kingsley
In 1855 Kingsley published Glaucus; or, The Wonders of the Shore (1855), an introduction to natural history and one of the first books of its kind to be written specifically for children.
Kingsley was vanquished by a far more subtle and intellectual opponent, though posterity gained Newman's Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1864) as a result of the debate.
His father, Charles, though reared to be a country gentleman, had taken Holy Orders because of the financial mismanagement of his inheritance.

 Kingsley, Charles --  Britannica Student Encyclopedia
François Rabelais in Gargantua uses the phrase à la venue des cocquecigrues to mean “never.” Charles Kingsley in The Water Babies has the fairy Bedonebyasyoudid report that there are seven things he is forbidden to tell until “the coming of the Cocqcigrues.” The word is of French origin.
From the sense of frustration engendered by these experiences Newman was delivered in 1864 by an unwarranted attack from Charles Kingsley upon his moral teaching.
The books of English novelist Henry Kingsley were popular for half a century.

 Amazon.com: Books: The Water-Babies (Books of Wonder)
Kingsley's work is poised between two words: the world of Christianity and the whimsical realm of fairies, and the onset of the scientific and historical developments that resulted in the evolution theory, industrial factories and the War.
Charles Kingsley's "fairy tale for a land baby" has charmed generations of readers.
Like Barrie, Kingsley's story is chock full of allegory and moralising, namely concerned with images of baptism and rejuvenation, as seen from Tom's transformation from "dirty" (figuratively and literally) to the white form of the water baby, to the moral growth that he gains over the course of the story.

 Charles Kingsley: A Biography
Setting his novel in the fifth century allowed Kingsley to attack from a distance nineteenth-century tendencies he believed were rending the fabric of English life.
Kingsley's Christian Socialist sympathies voiced through the pseudonym "Parson Lot" continued to find expression in print at least through 1851.
The Heroes; or, Greek Fairy Tales for My Children is a retelling of ancient tales and indicates his growing interest in writing for children, an interest to which he would return in 1862 with The Water-Babies and in 1868 with Madam How and Lady Why.

 An Essay by Charles Kingsley, "My Winter Garden."
In any life, in any state, however simple or humble, there will be always sufficient to occupy a minute philosopher: and if a man be busy, and busy about his duty, what more does he require, for time or for eternity?
Here, I imagine, Kingsley quotes George Henry Lewes (1817-78), English littérateur.
Coming out of Magdalene College (Cambridge), Kingsley had intended to take up the law but abandoned that idea and entered the church becoming the rector at Eversley at Hampshire and spent the rest of his life there.

The movement was concerned with “how the Church could help to prevent revolution by tackling what they considered were the reasonable grievances of the working class” (Spartacus).
During his involvement with this movement, Kingsley was active with the publications of the movement under the pseudonym “Parson Lot”: two journals, Politics of the People and The Christian Socialist; and a series of pamphlets called Tracts on Christian Socialism.
After their petition failed, Kingsley co-founded the Christian Socialist movement.

His type of religion, cheerful and robust, was described as “muscular Christianity.” Strenuous, eager, and keen in feeling, he was not either a profoundly learned, or perhaps very impartial, historian, but all his writings are marked by a bracing and manly atmosphere, intense sympathy, and great descriptive power.

That particular aunt died in the 1930's, but another aunt remembers seeing the manuscript as a child - it was by her account, beautifully decorated in the margins with Kingsley's sketches.
Lastly, the original manuscript of Kingsley's The Water Babies was given as a gift we believe by Rose Kingsley to one of my great aunts in the 1890's.
He is mentioned in Rose Kingsley's (Daughter to Charles) book Eversley Gardens and Others, 1908, as that dear old man who used to deliberately chop off the tops of flowers he didn't like.
